A HIP is a pack of standard information for potential buyers when a property is being marketed for sale. This means that a seller no longer has to buy a HIP before putting their home on the market. They do however, have the choice to provide one if they want to. The suspension will be followed up by legislation to abolish the packs permanently. Sellers are still required to commission, but will not need to have received, an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) before marketing their property. Regulations are being introduced outlining a number of new requirements in relation to EPCs. |
